Chapter 49

　　Patricia

　　Merging with Finn is like opening my eyes for the very first time and realizing there are so many things in the world that I've missed. I've been staring at a black-and-white photograph my entire life, and now there are sudden colors I've never noticed.

　　When I run, the winds are whispering in my ears, snickering and dancing around my feet. They sink into my skin and touch my bones, letting me know they have accepted me as their new master.

　　Finn hums inside my head with a smile in his tone. 'Oh, it feels so good to use our feet... Ehem, paws!'

　　'Our paws?' I question.

　　Finn speaks in an almost flirtatious voice. 'Your paws are my paws. Right now, we are one, Patricia.'

　　'I'm not sure how to feel about that! Please don't tell me your voice will haunt me in the shower and in other inappropriate places!' I shudder at the thought of Finn seeing me naked.
